Mythos ST or B&W 683 or ML - Purity or Vista

Im not an audiophile by any means, but I can identify good sound. I would like to place the speakers in an uneven shaped room with dimensions - 22 x 24 (ht - 22 ft).
I am looking to buy speakers (5 in all) within a budget of 5000 with additional cost for a receiver.
I have had a chance to hear the Martin Logan Vantage which was great but out of my budget. Im considering the set below, any / all recommendations outside of these speakers are welcome as well.
Choice 1 -
Front Left / Right - Definitive Mythos ST
Center - Mythos 10
Rears - Mythos GemXl
Subwoofer - None
Receiver - Pioneer Elite SC-35

Choice 2 -
Front Left / Right - B & W 683
Center - B&W Center
Rears - B & W 683
Subwoofer - Velodyne DD-10
Receiver - Pioneer Elite SC-35

Choice 3 -
Front Left / Right - Martin Logan Vista or Purity
Center - ML Motif
Rears - Martin Logan Source
Subwoofer - Velodyne DD-10
Receiver - Pioneer Elite SC-35

If the above sound ridiculous, please recommend some good speakers in the price range. Any takes on Kef?

Thanks
Kiran

My Uncle has the B&W 683s for HT and they sound great. He also liked using the B&W 683 speakers for multi-channel music. His sub was Velodyne as well but I don't remember the exact model. It wasn't the DD-10 though. It was one of the lower models.

Good luck
